When I arrived at UW-Madison last semester, I held the naïve opinion that class stratification was not a large problem on campus.
At the end of the 2017 fall semester, reports came out that UW had ideas of implementing a new “meal plan” idea that would come into effect the fall semester of 2018.
Hip hop has always been a genre that evolves with the times. Since it was born in the early 80s in the Bronx, hip hop has changed with the culture and has had a growing influence on our society. Over the years, there have been various styles of rap but the current most popular form, mumble rap, is the most dumbed-down version of hip hop yet and is a disgrace to the proud lyrical tradition that was built by legends of the past. When hip hop was first created, it had elements of jazz, spoken word poetry and soul music.
Taco Bell has plans to open a new cantina-style restaurant on State Street, bringing students both Nachos Bell Grande as well as liquor.
Recently, there have been numerous reports of women speaking out about their experiences with sexual misconduct in Hollywood.
Our generation cannot get enough of social media. It is an addiction that grips our society and defines our times.
Although the State of the Union did not mention it, the state of the special counsel’s investigation into possible Russian collusion with the Trump campaign is in peril. While former FBI director Robert Mueller presses onwards, Republican congressmen, including Wisconsin’s Paul Ryan and Ron Johnson, have attempted to undermine the validity of the investigation in ways that are clearly misleading and shocking to those paying attention. Republicans in the House Intelligence Committee voted to release a memo from its chairman, Rep.
Fetus . Diversity. Transgender. Vulnerable. Entitlement. Science-based. Evidence-based. These are all words that the Trump administration has chosen to ban from the budget proposals of the Center for Disease Control. While the Department of Health and Human Services claims that no list of banned words exists, it is easy to understand the implication directed towards CDC employees: there may not be an official list, but using those particular words in your proposals will get you in trouble. CDC employees who like their jobs will undoubtedly refrain from putting these newly proclaimed buzz-words in their reports. Censorship of science and facts is a step toward dictatorship and the banning of these particular words will result in extreme harm to our nation’s health, as well as the repression of knowledge regarding such health.
To be greener, we must want to do more than sign a pledge. At face value, the commitment to be carbon-neutral seems like a no-brainer.
As a resident and a House Fellow, the residence halls were foundational in my social and academic college experience. With nearly all first-year students living on campus, Housing helps form intimate communities to contrast the enormity of the University and brings together students from all academic, regional and ideological backgrounds to an unstructured social setting — a phenomenon not found elsewhere at the school to such significance. With how critical a role Housing plays in campus life, I am concerned about how the mandatory Dining deposit will impact low-income students access to our state’s public flagship university.
Prior to the 1970s, the term “pipeline” was used in industry to describe the process in which a product is pushed through the development phase and out into the market.
Board of Regents take easy way out, enact misguided free speech policy Thinking of protesting a speaker coming to a UW campus?
Recently the University released a policy proposal to mandate a $1,400 non-refundable dining hall deposit for incoming freshman living in the dorms.
Earlier in November there was a monumental leak in the Keystone Pipeline, resulting in over 200,000 gallons of oil spilling into the land of South Dakota, close to the Lake Traverse Indian Reservation.
Last Tuesday, FCC Commissioner and Trump-appointee Ajit Pai released plans to rollback net neutrality.
According to data collected by UW-Madison from 2006-’11, the average graduation rate of students was 56.8 percent in four years and 81.9 percent in five years.
This past week’s news headlines highlighted stories such as major sexual assault allegations and the House Republicans passing a dangerous tax plan, yet the College Republicans of UW-Madison chose to dedicate their “CR’s Newsflash” vlog about a tweet. Not about one of the countless tweets made by President Trump irrationally insulting Kim Jong-un, threatening a nuclear war, or spewing blatantly false facts.
Two of the worst mass shootings in American history have occurred within the last two months.
Education is something that has so much power. It has the possibility to change lives and better the future.
The 2016 Campus Climate Survey found that only 35 percent of trans students felt welcome on campus.
